Activities

Sandboarding

Have a go sand boarding from the Blesberg Dunes which at a height of 210 meters offer amazing views of Silver Sands beach. We have a large range of sand boards for hire and can also offer lessons if required.

Surfing

We have a number of surf spots, the closest being Main Beach so if it’s blowing southeast or northwest there will always be somewhere to surf. Will put in more details about surfing when Gwaffer gives me more info!

Penguins

Stony Point is one of 2 mainland-based colonies of the Jackass (or African) Penguin. Jackass Penguins and Ostriches are the only 2 flightless birds found in Africa. There is a walkway but you can still get up really close to the penguins.

WhaleWatching

We are located near the mating and breeding grounds of the Southern Right Whale. July till November is considered the best time to see whales but we often see them out in the bay from our balcony throughout the year. We also get visits from Orcas and Dolphins too!

Mountain Biking

There are a number of options available for the mountain biking enthusiast from the leisurely scenic rides to the new 3 trails at Honingklip Farm that offer sand, rocks, gravel, water, mud, steep climbs to slow long climbs.

Hiking

Betty’s Bay is spoilt with some of the most beautiful hiking trails in South Africa. Highly recommended are The Crystal Pools and the Harold Porter Botanical Garden trails that take you through the Kogelberg Nature Reserve. Hikes vary from 2 to 8 hours.

Bridge Jump

For those not scared of heights there is a 15.5 meter jump from the Palmiet River Bridge – check with staff for details on the jump.

Skateboarding

Betty’s Bay is home to the annual Hot Heels Downhill Skateboarding Event and the recently tarred ultra smooth roads make it an ideal location for skateboarding.

One of the most thrilling activities available in South Africa where you can observe and interact with one of the most majestic creatures of the sea. There are a number of operators available with the closest operating out of Gordon’s Bay.

Kite Boarding

Like surfing, whether the wind is blowing southeast or southwest, conditions are always good for kite boarding. Beaches are uncrowded in the off peak season.
